mnich: Was Voldemort born evil? 
JK Rowling replies -> I don't believe that anybody was born evil. 
You will find out more about the circumstances of his birth in the 
next book. 

Jen: I found this the most compelling answer in the whole chat. So 
there's more to LV's birth than previously mentioned, maybe 
something Tom Riddle didn't know about? He had to piece his history 
together from Muggle records which wouldn't include any unexplained 
magic events. Very interesting.

That seems to support the idea that LV could still have a drop of 
humanity in him from Tom Riddle, before he turned evil! I sense some 
mercy/redemption coming our way via Harry.
